Quaternary Geology of Southern Victoria Island
Principal Investigator: Sharpe, David R.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: Mr. Sharpe, along with other geologists and students, are continuing to investigate the way the glaciers shaped the landscape on southern Victoria Island. They will be collecting samples of rock, soil, and fossils in order to determine the source and age of different landforms. This information will be used to produce a map of the glacial geology of this area....


Rocks and Fossils in the White Mountains and Campbell Hills, NWT
Principal Investigator: Leigh, Kenneth
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Kenneth Leigh will be travelling through these areas collecting rocks and fossils....


Continuation of the research and fieldwork on Ellesmere and Banks Island of a biostratigraphic program on the marine fauna from the Eureka Sound Formation.
Principal Investigator: Zinsmeister, William J.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To determine: (1) the composition of the marine invertebrate faunas of the Eureka Sound Formation; (2) the stratigraphic distribution of individual taxa so that a biostratigraphic zonation could be established; (3) the biogeographic relationships of the faunas of the Eureka Sound Formation with temporal faunas of the North Atlantic....


Sedimentological facies analysis within the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous Units of the central northern Richardson Mountains, NWT/Yukon Territories
Principal Investigator: Mattner, Jorg
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To reconstruct the depositional environment in as much detail as possible, of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sediments nowadays outcropping in the central part of the northern Richardson Mountains...


Ordovician-Silurian Stratigraphy of Southampton Island
Principal Investigator: Dewing, Keith
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To determine the ages and depositional environments of the lowermost five formations of Palezoic rocks which crop out on Southampton Island, District of Keewatin....


Paleontological and geological research in the High Arctic (Ellesmere Island, Axel Heiberg and Devon Island)
Principal Investigator: Dawson, Mary R.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To explore for fossil vertebrate in Cenozoic rocks of Ellesmere, Axel Heiberg and Devon islands, in hopes of expanding the record of terrestrial vertebrates known fromhigh latitudes; to find vertebrates older and younger than those previously found as well as to explore for fossil vertebrates in the Geodetic Hills area of eastern Axel Heiberg Island, in an attempt to date the unaltered fossil wood...


Carbonate rocks of the Allen Bay Formation, Cornwallis and Griffith Islands, Canadian Arctic.
Principal Investigator: Mallamo, Mark
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study the carbonate rocks of the Allen Bay Formation (Ordovician and Silurian in age) on Cornwallis and Griffith Islands by mapping and collecting different rock and fossil types. This will enable the interpretation of the physical setting or environment in which these rocks were deposited, some 450 million years ago....


Paleontological Research: Prairie Creek area South Nahanni region
Principal Investigator: Lenz, Alfred C.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To carry out geological studies, collect rocks and fossils for ongoing paleontological research....


Geological Survey of the late Proterzoic sedimentary deposits of Baffin and Somerset Islands.
Principal Investigator: Butterfield, Nicholas J
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To conduct two to three detailed geological traverses through the late Proterozic sedimentary deposits of the Borden Basin (Society Cliffs, Victory Bay, Athole Point, Strathcona Sound and Elwin Formations) mapping and collecting samples for micropaleontological, geochemical and sedimentary analyses....


Structure and Stratigraphy of the Beaufort-Mackenzie continental margin
Principal Investigator: Lane, Larry S
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991 1987
Summary: To study the structural geology, stratigraphy, and paleontology of parts of the northern Yukon and Northwest Territories. To develop a model for the evolution of the Beaufort-Mackenzie continental margin based on surface geology, deep crustal seismic reflection and refraction data, and regional aeromagnetic and gravimetric data....
